Floating-point arithmetic is the most widely used way of implementing real-number arithmetic on modern computers. However, making such an arithmetic reliable and portable, yet fast, is a very difficult task. As a result, floating-point arithmetic is far from being exploited to its full potential. This handbook aims to provide a complete overview of modern floating-point arithmetic. So that the techniques presented can be put directly into practice in actual coding or design, they are illustrated, whenever possible, by a corresponding program. The handbook is designed for programmers of numerical applications, compiler designers, programmers of floating-point algorithms, designers of arithmetic operators, and more generally, students and researchers in numerical analysis who wish to better understand a tool used in their daily work and research., hardcover, Ausgabe: 2nd Ed. 2018, Label: Birkhäuser, Birkhäuser, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2018-05-20, Studio: Birkhäuser, Verkaufsrang: 851886

seller comment: This handbook aims to provide a complete overview of modern floating-point arithmetic. This includes a detailed treatment of the current (IEEE-754) and next (preliminarily called IEEE-754R) standards for floating-point arithmetic.
